5. EAST TENNESSEE. WoeltnR HnniK ami Gottlng Sick on Hail Plenr. Snog KATiosfAT. Triruxr: I boo In rHceut issue a I4aat from one of llaxen'8 old brigade about foraging down in East Tennessee, which mentions tbe fact that the 1st Obis was called the "walking smekohouse," and he wonders If any of the 1st Ohio boys remembers this lime.

I for ono romembor it very distinctly, and 1 remember having a good sised ham to tote to camp myself, and 1 tell yon there wan a good smell in the camp of no 1st Ohio that night of ham-fat frying in tho pan. And didn't we onjoy it, after being long on short rations in tliattauooga? Thore was one little incidont attached to this that makes mo remember it bo well. It ie this: As Comrade Crowd I states, the 1st Ohio was in the lead that day, aud of course got thore first (to tho smokehouse), as they always did, and had the first choice, which was tho first they came to, 6o that the head of the regimout did not get down to where the liam6 wore. At nny rata, wo that wore baok a little most all put bams. There wax one of tlie hoys from tho 5th or better known in the hrigiulo as tho Louisville Legion and they wore a host I can loll yen charged in with us and managed to got ono of tho fin out hams.

They always did get tho liest in a charge, and there was tiothiug thoy would not take, hb I havo known them to cvou take tho reliel breastworks, aud one fellow took his robel brother prisoner, lint this was not the fellow at all, for this ono only took a ham, and was marching along with it when the Colonel of his regiment rode up to him and aaked him whore ho belonged, lie answered, To the Legion." Well," aaid tho Colonel, "get out of this and ge with tho 1st Ohio; 1 don't intond to have any smokehouse robbers in my ranks." We did uot like to lie called auoh hard namoe, for we had rather a good reputation as ropi-ment that would not rob anything (after the Legion had bwoH there) or take anything we could not carry, and of course we rath or re-boh led t.hi and reprtod to "Old llrickton," as wo used to call Maj. Stafford (who oommandoil tlie lot Ohio) on aocouut of his rod head, what Col. Berry, of the Legion, had said. Did you ak if he awore? You raa call it swore if you want to, hut he naturally fa mini, h1 some of the boys said they actually smelted Kwlplinr, but 1 think it was the meat, that probably had saltpeter in it. Anywsiy.

he was not long in finding this Sth Xy. man whe had joined us, and he asked him what he was doing there, aud the poor fellow told hiiu what tho Colonel of the fth Ivy. had done. This only raado Maj. Stafford hotter, aud cauaod him to uc di fioreut language from what our Sunday-school teacher does, and gave him to understand that he would father what the 1st Ohio did, but he be if he would the whole brigade.

I would like to if auy of the boys of Macon's lirigade over got sick by eating broad made from sick -wheat flour ou that march to Knot-vide? I did. aud I don't think I was much worse scared during my army life than I was a few days after the altevo incident occurred. 1 had foraged seme flour and sergutu molasses, intending to have some flap-jacks, molasses and ham gravy for HUjpr, bat, owing to our getting to camp late, 1 was obliged to wait till morning. 1 was on time in the morning with a break fust lit for a King, and we did It justice, too. Breakfast over, assembly was sounded, and we were out on tho road again making haate for Knoxville.

Wc bad gono bat a mite or so when I began to get sick and faiuty, but said nothing until one of my comrades, seeing I looked pale, asked me what the matter was. I told him how I felt, and told him 1 be.liovod 1 was poisoned, he seeming to think about I did. Well, 1 kept getting sicker and sick or until finally I told my Captain I would be obliged to fall out of ranks, as I was very Kick. 1 made for the fenee aud had just Lime to reach it when 1 commenced to vomit, and it seemed to me that it had gone clear back to 1801 and was hunting up my flrst army rations iu order that it might got a chauee to clean me out, and if it had not beuu that my feet were so big I have no doubt but I would have turned iuMde eut. Tbe Doctor, riding in rear of tho regiment, came up to where 1 was and asked me what in thunder I was doing.

I told hiia what I had been doing and what I had been oating. He bad to laugh at me, aud I told him I oould not see where tho laugh come in. I wanted him to do something for me. or I would die right there aud than, bet be told me there was no dattgor at all, what bad caused it, and abo that ft would be likely to happen to rae npaiii. I told him 1 thought not, for I never eeahl got oneugb rations ahead to caue ntch an overflow again.

With tbe exoepUou of feeling weak and sore I nvw felt any bad eflnot. CilAE. IUnkk, Oe. II, lat Ohio, Silver Lake, Kau. Bead Bettor than a Pensioa ea page 5.

IN THE WILDERNESS. Til Jtxtllc nt tho ItreeL aad Plnnk lUarfn. EtwroK Isatsokat. TftfKUKif: Concerning tiie battle iu tbe Wilderness ou the 0th of May, 1804, 1 oan give no information a to tbe part token by the brigades of Luasure and Carroll, but I can perhaps throw a little light on the controversy concerning Bice's Brigade. Gen.

Wadswortb Mas killed about 10 a. m. in im attack ou the enemy's works on tbe Plank road, about a mile west of tho Breck road. The entire command was thrown into confusion, the Second Corps thrown back, and a portion of tbe Ninth Corp compelled to retire. Owing to tbe nature of tbe ground and tbo dense thicket In which tlie action occurred, it was impossible to preserve lines.

I had gotten together a few mou of tbe brigade, which force Gen. Owens assigned to part of a lino he was establishing. Not deeming it proper to remain there, I withdrew tbe men to another jHwiUon, where I found tho fragments of threo rogi-menl. Maj. Bard, of the KStk K.

being the ranking ottieer, I suggested to him to tako command until I could And Gen. Hofmaun and tlie rest of tho brigade. At tho Barae time Gen. Owens, aeoempauied by tlie Colonel of tbo 78d came along and spoke to me very sharply about leaving tbe position to which ho bad assigned my "regiment." I told him I had no regiment. To this he replied that these troops would remain in this lino under tho oommand of tbe Colonel of tho 7d Pa." I was uot willing that any iwrtiou of oar brigade should be detailed for duly by an ofli-oer of tbe Second Corps, aud started in search of Gen.

liufuiuuu. 1 had gone but a abort distance when I saw Col. MoClure, of Gen. Warren's atafl', to whom I related all that had occurred, lie replied, "You are not under Gen. Owens," and instructed mo to wait a abort time.

He soon returned and said, Tell Maj. Bard it bi Gon. Warren's order that ho report with hie detachment to Col. llofmann, at tbe intersection of tbe Brook and Plank roadfi." Maj. Bard Keeordingly withdrew.

Ou our way wo picked up a good many men belonging todiflerenl regiments in the brigade, mo that when we reached tlie crossroad about 1 or 1:30 o'clock we made a very ie-apootabie addition to the brigade, much to Gen. of mean's delight, who thought we were captured. We lay immediately iu roar of tbe works north of the Oranjco xh.1 Frodc ricks-burg Piauk road (commonly known as the Orange Plank road) until about 4 o'clock p. wbeu the onemy made an attack ou the line. Tbe left of the Soeoud Corps was uot far south of tbe Plank road.

When the onemy charged the works tbe troens ou tlie aouth gave way, but tbe troops north ef the Plank road bold their position. When tbe Confederate troops took kmmsu0u of tbe works they kept their regimental eokms iu tbe edge of tbe timber, but owe of Ute guides mouuted tbe breastworks with his flag and was kiiled. This was proba-bly tbe Color bearer alluded to by Capt. Graham. Ges.

Hancock wa ou tho Plank road just to the left of llofuiaun's (or Bice's) Brigade, and him' to charge tho works. This was eeutod by a left oblique, aud tbo onemy, uv oeiug supported, was drivou out, and made no subsequent eflbrt to obtain pes-miou of that part el tbe hue. Bice's Brigade held these works until tbe next day, and tho followiug night marched to SKttsyivauia. This is all there hi of the matter. I havo not ooitsultod Leasing" or "fcwinton" about it, but have told simply what came undor my own observation.

As to Lesauro's and Carroll's Brigados, I did not see thorn. No doubt they wore deitig their duty nobly wherever they wore, but they had mo more to do with tlie capture of tho works at tbe crossroads. May 0, lHOt, than thoy hud with tbe battle of Waterloo, Te honor has besn claimed by tbe Second, Fifth and Xinth Corjw, and I suppose home claimant will hoon appoar from tbo Sixth.

An Ioira Major's Opinion or Gen. Ilallcck. Editoh Natioxai. TninuNn: I havo boon rondingGon. Pope's" War Kominiscencos" with considerable.

pliMisuro, and ono can almost nnmo the various Generals he writes about by the traits of character ho nscribes to thorn. I am not satisfied, bowevor, with the easy in an nor in which ho lots Gen. Uallock down in his managemont of tho campaign about Corinth, after tho bnttlo of Shiloh. Ho says: "Tho country was fully justified in feeling gront dissatisfaction and disgust at tho result of our operations nt Corinth." If tho country was disgusted, howenn I express the feelings of tho grand array undor tho commauil of Gon. Hal-lock who were advancing on Corinth? These men were tho flowor of tho Northern aud Border States, onlistod, not from any lovo of the service, hut from a spirit of natriotistn ami lovo of tho old flag.

Many of them had loft homes whoro plenty reignod, nud probably had uever dono a day's work iu their livos. To bo put to work cutting down heavy timber and throwing up huge intronchmonts iu iuclomout weather, it would bo putting it mildly to Bay wo wore disgusted. I believo that had wo not been entirely inexperienced in tho modes of warfare, tho wholo command would have rebelled against such useless labor. Imagine what would havo happened had the samo labor boon imposed on us in ISfil orlSGH, under tho samo circumstances, of course; us 1 do not mean to imply that tho boys would not throw up intrenchmouts when necessary. Commanding Gonerals in 1MJ2 could not bo oxpuctcMl to do as the same officers did iu ItiOi mid 1SG5.

But what excuse can bo ollerod for a Gouoral commanding an army, who was a graduate of West Point, and really a General in 1601, not a CapUiu or Lieutenant pro-xnotod to tho rank of Gouoral at ono jump, who would load an advance as Halleck did on Corinth? Anything that ho did uot do would havo boon proforablo to what he did do, and could not uuder any circumstances have resulted more disastrously. A direct attack would have boon welcomed by tho wholo army, aud would no doubt havo scut tored tho army under Beauroguard. With a proper use of the gallant cavalry attachod to our army, a capture could have Imjoh ofluctod of his wholo command, together with the supplios accumulated at Cor-iuth. Tho effect of this would liavo beon to placo our army whero it was on Oct. 3 and 1, 18H2, without campaigning all Summor, and fighting the disastrous buttles of luka, Jaciuto, and Holly Springs, and later the two days' fight at Oiriuth, Oct.

3 and 4. To what can be attributed Hallock's want of ability to command an array His West Point training, that ho had beoomo too old to throw oil? Tho theory of war as taught at West Point was useless to a man whon he roallv confronted au onemy in the field, and the only successful West Pointers were such men as Grant. Sherman, Sheridan and McPherson, who at once discarded all they had learned at tho Academy except the drill, aud started out to gain experience anew. It isn "condition and not a theory that confronts a mail when ho actually faces tho enemy, aud unless ho bo a man fcuitod to command, no amount of oducation at a military school will save him. Ho will bocomo a dismal failure, as did Halleck.

Eimtok National Trihuxk: So modest is our claim to a seldior record of note that 1 four, when it is stated, fiomo better-in formed member of tho family will "rise in his place" and object. The Latou family, the Huuteraon family, tho Asa Quiuu family, are all so full of bold mr-boy record, that our claim to patriotic record surpassing any yet given, will be cousi-icred but a piece of presumption and laughed at as au idle tale; yet it is a true bill. The Hicks family is known on both sides of the Atlantic. Members of it (its various branches) havo figured raoro or less conspicuously iu all the wars aud peaco commissions known to tho reoords (and bomo not known) for centuries past. Members of this family have ma relied and fought uuder every flag ovar hoisted; suffered in nil the prison-peus on this planet; havo stood on both Hides of every question that ever agitated tho public mind in every naval buttle wc were thero, aud on board of ovorj craft ou gaged.

Tho record, in some instances, may not be ns orthodox as oould be desired, but it is history. In the war fur the Union we followed both tho Stars and Stripes and the Stars and Bare; we fought bravely ou every bloody fluid known to the record or 'Gl and '05. The boys didn't all answer to the Hicks name, but were, all tho same, members of tho family. We trace our family iu successive steps back to a couple famous iu liiUry, and known as Adam aim live, whose homo for a little while was in a garden Kdeu. famous in verso aud proHs; but were drivou oHtof tho garden for an act of disobedience by a visitor of roeog-nizod power and authority, whoso call was in the cool of the day." The record may bo a little blurred and mixed hore aud there, but it is nevertheless valuable us a record of tho familj.

Editor National TRintTNiff Tho recollections of Gon. Pope arc very interesting reading, and tho description of tho' characters aud achievements of certain' prominent Generals during the lato war are very fair and just anil fully borne out by history. Bat his description of Braxton Bragg's character overdrawn indeod, ho might just as well have sniil that he was a fiend in human or a devil incarnate. Having served hi his battory (C, 3d U. S.

L. five years from to 1S.7T he being mj' Captain four yars, I ought to havo learned to know him. That he was overbearing aud too strict a disciplinarian is true, but that ho was goutlomauly to his brothor oflicers and also to his men who attended strictly to their duties, is also true. Tho uuder his control were more afraid of him than hh men, and when iu command of a post, whoovor happened to lie Ollicer of tho Day had better not play billiards too long or go to bed too oarly. He had but ono quarrel that I know of, and that was with LicuL-Col.

Morrisson, of tho 7th U. S. who wu3 in commaud of four companies of his regiment at Fort Gib3on, whon wo arrived thero in tho Fall of 1S33. Said Morrisson required a detail from our battory daily for garrison guard to which Bragg objected, he claiming his mon had guard duties enough to do when doing tho necessary stable guarding. But tho quarrel didn't last long.

Bragg wrote to his friend Jeff Davis, who wa3 then Secretary of War, for permission to command his own company, ami Jeff granted it forthwith. Thero was rejoicing in Battery because wo didn't have to mount guard any longer with the Dough boys," and Bragg's victory over Morrissou made him in our oyos both a hero aud a benefactor. Bragg was sovoro on drunkards, and had no patience with nny of them. He had tliom tied up, buckod aud gagged, confined on bread and water, from one to threo months' pay stopped, with ball-aud-chaiu thrown in for ornamental purposes I suppose. Thero was nothing he didn't try to stop drunkcniie-w.

At Jefferson Barracks, in the Summer of lfT3, Brnjig had a "shower-bath" constructed by leading the water from a cold spring into a purforated hogshead near tho river bunk, under which hogshead wo had to stand preparatory to a swim in tho river once a week, as a sanitary meusuro I suppose. Well, all mou getting drunk were taken under that hogshead aud kept thero till thoy were solier, which never took long to accomplish. The remedy was probatim est," and it saved the Coporal of tho Guard the hard and disagreoable work of tying and bucking and gagging tho delinquents. Barracks was then headquarters of tho Gth U. S.

also of tho Department of tho Wost, commanded by a Gen. Clarko. Gon. Hancock and Gen. McDowell woro on Clarke's staff.

Tho former was then First Lieutenant and Adjutant, the latter Captain and Quartermaster. Hancock wasasplomlid-lookingollicor, both on foot or horseback. There was magnetism about him, ami you couldn't help hut like and admire him, as he was the beau ideal of a fioldior. McDowell was no fiivorito with tho boys indeed, he hadn't as many friends as had Bragg. In Juno, 1654, our battory was ordered to Fort Washita, Chickasaw Nation, whero wo wcro stationed with Light Battery 2d U.

S. Capt. and Brevet-Maj. Henry J. Hunt commanding battery, till December, 16.VJ.

At this fort wo had splendid times. Our battery hero cultivated about 18 acres of land, from which we rained lota of everything for our tahloa. Our pork we traded off for Texas beef, of which we got four pounds for one pound of pork. Indeed, wo lived hero liko well-to-do citizens in a civilized country. Bragg commanded the post until his resignation, when it devolved on Hunt.

Brairgand Hunt were always ou tho host of tonal Huutwasau oflicer aud a gentleman iu all tlmt the term implies, and I take pride to this day iri knowing that ho proved of inestimable to our causo by having been the efficient Chief of Artillory of tho Array of the Potomac. Among tho oflicers who servod with our battery hero woro Gen. Uosoph J. Reynolds, who commanded a division in the Army of tho Cumberland; Ass't Adj't-Gon. Chauucey McKecvor, of Washington.

J). and H. G. Gibson, now the CoUmol of the 3d U. S.

Art Thoy were aH First Lieutenants then. The only olQcor that I beramo acquainted with and who turned rebel, besides Bragg, was Lieut. A. Long, of Maj. ilunt'a battery.

Ho becamo Goil Lce'a Military I believe. Both battories received orders December, ISTjO. from JofT Davis to proceed via Fort Smith, tho Arkansas and Mississippi Rivers to Now Orleans, from thuueo to Fortress Monroe, for a school of artillery practice, and to turn ovor our batteries at tho Little Rock Arsenal aud I have oftun thought since, that Jeff Divis aud his 6Ucceror, Floyd, concluded that those batteries wore in a most excellent place for their friends to got at iu their contemplated rebellion, aud I more than once thought wheu tho robel battories hailed us with their shot, and canister, that one of those very batteries might be tho one we wcro once so proud of. On tho resignation of Bragg, Capt. and Brevot Maj.

John F. Reynolds, tho commander of tho First Corps, who laid down his life at Gettysburg July 1, lfc03, became, through Bragg's influence with Jeff Davis, Captain of our battery. Tho announcement was hailed with delight by tho old vet, Reynolds having been ono of tho Licutenanta under Bragg iu Mexico. They knew and believed in him. In their estimation, auy othor choice of a Captain would havo been an insult to each member of Bragg's buttery.

Tho vets claimed that Reynolds could drill a battery as well as Bragg, which tho uon-vetH doubted very much. As Reynolds was on a detail of oflicers at Fortroas Monroe, engaged with ordnance and artillery matters, ho did not lake charge of the battery. Subalterns comfhauded it thp last year of my service. Wo wore at Fortross Monroe liko a lot of poacocks minus their tails, for our glory had departed when tho battery had been turned in at Little Rock. Wo drilled at the Columbiails up on tho parapets.

It was nothing but tho monotonous two, threo, four, in battory anil from battery, which wholo drill can bo learnt by any fool in ono hour. Just imagine a mau to have to do it for nine or 10 months steady, fivo days week. And this kind of business was called "rcIioo! of practice" by Jeff Davis, who ought to havo been hung for getting us into that misery, if for nothing olse. Out of tho eight batteries thou in the United Slates service, ours was conceded to be the best drilled, and Bragg tho ablest artillory ollicer. Wo had men iu tho battory who had served an enlistment iu Thomas Sherman's battory (K), 3d also ono from O'Brien's battory (B), 4th tho Cniiiioiieer'H idolized battery, who freely gave in that Bragg excelled as a drillmaster.

I followed the story of the Can-noucor with intense interest, regretting that I could not havo been iu that or some othor good battory during the war iustoad of having servod iu an infantry regimout.

Longstrect wiys ho was to have a forcof 20.000 for hit East Tennessee operations. Itdoes appear officially, however, that thero wero 52 regiments and battalions of infantry under his command, exclusive of artillory and cavalry, and it is fair to assume that he had fully 20.000 mon iu line in his attacks ou Knoxvillo.

Some writers place tho figures much higher. Tho Confedorato leaders estimated tho force uuder Burnsido, to bo attacked by a rapid movement," at not loss thau 20,000, aud how they could expect to accomplish anything with much, if any, less than au equal force is uot apparent. Tho cavalry on either side is not takon into consideration, as that arm was not engaged in tho actual sioge operations. Editoh National Tm hunk. Bead Botter thau a Tension.
